Waiting

It doesn't look like this yet--close. But Riley has already been for his daily walk in the woods with G. I was reading my journal this morning (for last February) and there were daily notes on MY walks with Riley in the woods. In the cold and snow. I am so thankful that G is doing the walking this year. Its nice to see everything covered in clean, white snow. No grass showing.

I spent an hour cleaning. I chose the dining room table as my first project. When we emptied the desk in the kitchen a world of odds and ends landed on the table. Now I am trying to find good homes for what I want to keep and the recycle bin or garbage can for the rest. I found art supplies I had lost or forgotten I owned. I found important receipts I should have filed. I found recipes. I added a few things to my son's Valentine box (I try and mail things to him) and I found a few things from his college days, his high school days and even middle school. A Bento Box of treats. My next job is the desk right here under my finger tips.

G has gotten us signed up for all sorts of online accounts. SS, Medicare, the bank etc. I checked late last night to see if my unemployment check had been deposited. We aren't getting mail lately and I hadn't gotten the usual confirmation. Medicare has returned 2/3rds of my overpayment. I still haven't gotten any SS. We also signed onto Netflix for a 30 day trial. Never had it before. I took the "like/dislike" survey and when I was finished I got a note from Netflix that they had ZERO recommendations for my viewing pleasure. Sad but true. I know there are at least three new-ish movies I want to see. Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

Now I am going to put the wet stuff in the dryer and start my dinner prep. We had roast turkey breast last night. It was very good and we ate it all. I had hoped for a few leftovers.

About Me

I have changed a great deal in the five plus years of writing on this blog. I have lost weight, gained weight, lost friends, gained friends, given up fabric and taken it up again.
I feel better about myself right now as I approach my 65th birthday. Better able to choose to do the things that make me happy and not the things I feel duty bound to do, just because. I still have boxes of art supplies I haven't used yet which makes me very happy. I love a blank piece of fabric or paper, some pens or thread, and the freedom to just "make" something.
Welcome to my world.
